[Q] redbend error in updater-script

Hey folks,

i want to flash a kernel tru updater-script.

I type the following commands:

package_extract_file("redbend_ua", "redbend_ua");

package_extract_file("zImage", "zImage");

set_perm(0, 0, 0755, "redbend_ua");

Those 3 steps worked.

But when i add this line:

run_program("redbend_ua", "restore", "zImage", "/dev/block/bml7");

I get the error: Error in /mnt/sdcard

Status 6

This means that the last line is not in unix. But it is. Its all written in Notepad++ and no copy and paste.

Why does the last line dont work? Please help me.

[Q] Problem installing OCLF with Voodoo kernel on Froyo

I was trying to disable Voodoo to try OCLF(not happy with speed with Voodoo)

So I downloaded the remove voodoo-app, and disabled it with success. Back to RFS. I'm using Froyo JPA Samsung official.

But when I try to install OCLF I get the message: "You already appear to have another lag fix installed! (/system/bin/playlogos1 les than 5KB)"

I therefor tried the "Restore boot animation"-function, and it says success. But still I get the same message when trying to install OCLF.

I have also tried to manually delete the playlogos1-file, but it seems to be coming back immediately.

Help!

I have been trying to find Windows 7 drivers for my Streak and have had zero luck getting anything to work. I am trying to root my device but without getting the drivers to work I think I am stuck. I have searched this forum and others but have had no luck.

Any help please? Thank you.

i just finished putting djsteves 1.9 on and i was like you. i was lost with all of the write ups and what not. here is what i did to figure it all out.

dl all files and then run the tutorial. i know there is extra stuff that is not needed but i got mine done and it wasnt too hard,

http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92

start there and then just follow skip the first part about how to install rom. that is last.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosdefinesorder:
The drivers are actually on the MicroSD card that came with your Streak. Look for Dell_PC_Suite.

That installs the ADB drivers as well as the PC Suite (that I just ignored from that point onwards)

That's how I got the drivers to work for Rooting my Streak on Windows 7 x64

It looks like they're using Google Code for issue tracking only, and that it's not truly an open source project. If you wanted to get them kicked off Google Code, you could. Not saying you should do that, but I don't see evidence that they're really open source, and that is a clearly stated requirement for hosting a project on Google Code.

I'm running CM7 and was wondering if there was anything comparable to what the stock ROM had when editing photos because the "Auto-Correct" feature worked great! I have a few photo editors (PicSay, Photo-Enhancer) but they either don't enhance on their own, or they don't really do much to improve the photo :(

Anyone know any good way?

[Xoom General] IndivisibleP:
Google is going to f***ing dissenchant me with all their little f***ing two sided antics. OK I get it, blah blah open f***ing source etc. But you can't have it both ways. You want to make a liberal system that can be taken advantage of freely by developers and promote creativity and freedom, great. But you do half the work and allow the cyanogenmod team to smooth out the rest of the quarks and make your OS closer to an expected consumer user experience, voiding peoples warranty in the process. Even at this point, OK. BUT YOU CAN'T F***ING HAVE THE HARDWARE MANUFACTURERS AND CARRIERS PARADING AROUND LIKE ITS OK TO MILK A HALF BAKED OS BY SUCKING PEOPLE DRY WITH INSANE UNJUSTIFIABLE PRICES, ESPECIALLY WHEN NOT EVEN ONE CENT OF ANY OF THE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT COMES OUT OF THEIR POCKET.

Google needs to put the f***ing squeeze on these a*****es or realize that they are full of s***.

[Xoom General] DroidzFX:
and THE OP

Nobody forced you to buy anything. Is honeycomb perfect? no we already know this. 2.2 or 2.3 is not perfect so not sure what you expected. We got earthquakes, tsunamis, and civil wars going on and you are worried about some force closes. You dont like it dont buy it. You should feel lucky you even have the choice to buy a Xoom. Quit your *****in.
[Xoom General] burden010:
Sounds like you can't really afford the Xoom. Maybe you should just take it back and get a refund. Yes, I think that's the best course for everyone involved.
[Xoom General] matdev:
I wasn't "*****in" as you like to put it I was merely asking a question as to whether this was a common thing or if mine was just having problems and maybe I should reload it or something to fix it. If you can't say anything constructive maybe you should avoid using that 1st amendment right of yours.
[Xoom General] DroidzFX:
Maybe you should do some research because this question has been asked several times. If the same question or statement is mentioned over and over then it becomes classified as *****in. Unfortunately you fell into this category.
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
I think the price is fair...and Moto does have software dev time in it - Kernel time at a minimum. I'm fully aware Google was involved in the design process of the device, but I doubt other than a ton of OEM support to Moto that they actually have a ton of resources invested in the device it self.

I guess no one has looked in to purchasing a 32Gb SSD - those alone are $100.

10" screen ~$100 for just a screen without any touch digitizer

So 200 bucks in cost in 2 pieces of hardware.

One of the problems with the Android community as a whole is everyone whining about price. The price of hardware, the price of apps. The Apple drones could care less about price, they'll pay what they are asked to pay regardless of any other thought than "It's white, it has fruit on it" . I however am a fairly informed consumer and am WILLING to pay for latest and greatest as long as it serves my needs.

However, the lack of HC Source has made me reconsider the purchase....:(
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
You have to think though, that by not releasing the source.. they are doing their best to avoid some of the issues spoken about previously. Too often manufacturers would like to prey on the uneducated or the early adopters by throwing a half developed piece of hardware out the door, slapping the google android sticker on it.. and then while they profit, they take the good name of Google/Android and drag it through the mud.

Look at the reaction to the original Samsung Galaxy Tab. It was thrown out, with an OS that was not made for a tablet, on hardware not optimized for the design... only to capitalize on the fact that they would be the first out the gate (or at least one of the first). Apple did the same thing, and took their phone OS and blew it up to a larger format. The only reason they succeeded was that they had their system locked down and could ensure that they had a good hardware/software mix. The throngs of iFags everywhere gobble it up because they knew it would be solid enough to satisfy them for a year till the next one comes out and improves on it.

Google is finally learning from Apple in that respect.

By not releasing the sc for HC, they are making sure that they can correct the early issues found with HC in the Xoom, as well as ensure the hardware its installed on meets specific requirements as to not damage their name or their products name. Its not that it wont let it out eventually, but they want to make it as solid as possible before they do. I respect them for that, even if it makes the modding community's job a bit harder in the interim.
[Xoom General] coreyzw:
Lastly... you can blame the marketing techniques for shady products. Simple people are too excited by shiny products with big words in their advertising, that they get burned by not researching... and those that get burned, cry the most. Those that do their due diligence and research, only blame themselves when they get burned because they overlooked a mistake or failed to prioritize features.
[Xoom General] msalem:
Can you give us some more details? Like, did you root your xoom or are you experiencing all of these force closes on a clean xoom that you just got 2 days ago? Did you throw an image on there, sideload a bunch of apps, etc....

Off Topic...

Many people do not understand when they try to compare the Xoom to a polished product like the iPad that the iPad OS has been around for a while before the iPad even came to market (iTouch, iPhone) and developers had already enough time to work with iOS so when the iPad was released there was not that much difference besides the new screen real estate that they had to adjust their apps for. When the iPad first came out there were some bugs, apps had that BS 2x until they were optimized for the iPad, etc...The Xoom is a brand new product that is sporting new hardware and a brand new OS that developers have not had the opportunity to work on until just recently so if "you" are not an early adopter then please buy an iPad. And if you are going to complain about the price of the Xoom compared to an iPad 2 then please explain how many 16GB WiFi only models are selling for the same price right now as a Xoom.
[Xoom General] neonflx:
The entire android os and their very diverse array of devices is the reason it will fail. Kind of the same reason linux have not been able to penetrate the masses. I been a linux user since 92 and even I get overwhelmed sometimes with the amounts of distros out there. Got it that is what open source is about however. that same premises is what hinders its progress. Andoid is too fragmented with companies rushing out devices to the market without been ready, unfortunately the so call "early adopters" do everyone else a deservice by rushing to buy such devices, to compund this, companies are quick to abandon support for devices after a couple of months leaving us at the mercy of freelance developers (which by the way are great)

Yes the xoom and hc were rushed out to the market on an effort to get a headstart on other devices, by now it has been proven that it did now work as expected for them
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
What? You realize android is the most used smartphone platform worldwide right (ignoring sybian)? If that isn't market penetration I don't know what is.

The API differences from 1.6-2.3 are so minor that application compatibility is really a non issue between operating systems. The only issue is hardware differences really.

Ask the average Joe user what version of android or IOS they are using and they'll ask you "what?". Only the power users ***** and moan about these relatively minor OS updates because they always want the latest thing.
[Xoom General] msalem:
Are you rooting for Android to fail? You know they do have Windows based phones if you don't like android ones. No one is forcing you to buy anything android. This is not a hate forum so unless you actually own a xoom and have a general question/statement regarding the xoom/honeycomb then why not just go find a "I hate android/linux/capitalism" forum.
[Xoom General] DroidzFX:
Really? You must have been on a deserted island for the last couple years. My Xoom running Honeycomb works just fine. Someone needs to start a thread titled ***** here so you guys can get together share what type of tampons you prefer.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] porkovich:
Hello, i have noticed something rather strange? and want to know if this is a normal / typical Bootloader Behavior. I will post a Video link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCSaQi9cLrw

the thing is, the last time i entered the bootloader i noticed that now i must wait much longer for it to become fully loaded ? Normally after starting the phone, the bootloader needs several seconds and it's up and running. Now i see a strange Loading message and must wait. The actual Loader is working normal, but this is not the thing i was used to ? Do anyone know if this is some sort of a problem, do i need to reflash the HSPL again. I have used the device with many roms, recently i have done Task 29 to clear it, but i don't thing it's related. Everything was fine until today ?

What do you think ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Definitely not normal bootloader behavior.

I would try flashing HSPL again.

You're right, Task 29 does not affect this partition.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] porkovich:
If i want to reflash it ? what must i actually do. Do the normal flash, described in the HSPL post ? or there is something different. I don't want to brick the phone :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
I would first try to download the .nbh and custom ruu.exe file and try flashing that way;

Sync with ActiveSync, place the RUU.exe and .nbh file in the same folder and run the ruu.exe

If you try the autoinstaller, you will likely get the commercial use error, so try the other method first. If you get the error, just open a ticket and explain your situation.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] porkovich:
So you say, to replace the 2.51 HSPL with the 2.5.nbh file using customruu for Topaz. Just like flashing any normal rom ? Is there a problem that i have an active rom on the Device ? Can that reflash procedure brick the phone, i mean, if the bootloader goes wrong, this will be a serious problem :D

EDIT: i did the reflash. No change after flashing 2.51 again. I actually have no idea what this is ? but it does not affect the phone directly. If somehow the partition is corrupt , partially, as long as it works i will be fine :D

If you have other ideas ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
No other ideas.

It could be your partition is becoming corrupt or perhaps screen calibration is delayed for some reason.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] porkovich:
Actually i have tested XDAndroid few times. But it's all SD related there. I don't think that it's trying to change something in that Boot partition ?

The thing is, i have done task 29 after that and there was nothing new or strange with the bootloader. Actually as much as i know, the SD builds dont even touch the NAND flash on the device, at least there are non for Topaz yet...

The new behavior of the bootloader came from nowhere and not after making some radical changes to the device. Just like that...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Correct, XDAnroid wouldn't affect the bootloader partition.

You may need a new memory chip eventually.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cmonex:
do you have a NBH file on your SD card, that could cause this screen to appear.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] porkovich:
Yes, that was the problem. I removed the SD card and the problems was gone. One of the files on the Memory Card was the cause of the problem. Thanks mate !! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] prabhat:
Good to know this cmonex :).

We know boot loader does load NBH file from SD, and we just ignored that :confused:.

In QuickPic>Settings>General, choose Use light background. You'll need to click on the individual icons in order to see them against the white background.

The other way that "works" for me is to give the icons memorable names, and "view" them in a file manager, such as root explorer.

this guide is for those who still have Clockwork Mod Recovery still on device you can thank bogdi1988 for his work and orginal guide here :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12185475&postcount=76

BUT THIS MAY WORK FOR OTHERS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO MOUNT SYSTEM AND DATA AND THOSE THINGS FROM ADB

but to simplify I did this :

stock images

recovery.img

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2252176/recovery.img

boot.img

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2252176/boot.img

Once in recovery mount everything you can system , data , cache , everyrthing besides sd card

then go into command prompt and type adb shell make sure its working if you still have root it will show # if not it will show $ I believe no biggie as long as it picks up in shell.

then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p2 /sdcard/boot_orig.img

then type : flash_image /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard/recovery_orig.img

select reboot from the recovery. now it will reboot and it will format misc and it will reboot again.

bogdi1988 suggest flash all images over again in fastboot

in this order

system.img

recovery.img

boot.img

thanks go to everyone who has a dell streak 7 that was willing to try all these hacks and risking your devices for the greater good of the streak

P.S. I will post system.img in a second
